The Tag Someone New Meme

THE TAG SOMEONE NEW MEME
How It Works
Sometimes, memes can be awkward. There's always that feeling that, if you don't know the person behind the curtain, you'll be intruding somehow. Don't worry. We've all been there. Still, it's nice to have that little reassurance that hey, it's cool. We're all in this together and we just want to play.

That's where this meme comes in! The point here is to play with someone you've never played with before, OR play with a character/canon you're unfamiliar with. The prompts provided include mundane activities, chance meetings, platonic fluff, romance/smut, fighting, and crack. This is pretty much the granddaddy of meme variety, so there should be something for just about everyone.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Comment with you character(s). In the subject field, put all the info that's relevant + any preferences.
- Reply to others. Remember, the goal is to play with new people!
- The initial set of prompts is in this post. The subsequent sets are linked GoogleDocs.
- Use the RNG to get your prompts.

I thought they should meet

[The local saloon is oddly peaceful for a change. Locals come and go, but the strangers that take passage through the town have all dried up in the desert sun recently.

All but two it appears.

Ulysses is only passing through like so many others, the small saloon a temporary stop on a long journey. There is no hiding he is a traveler and not from there; his hair bound in shoulder length strains and duster riddled with symbols.

He takes to the corner of the building and watches locals pass. Setting to his left on the wall is a flag pole, but not flag. It is a strange sight, but none really dare to approach the topic.

[The flag is not there because a local thief had stolen it, which the Man is now riding on by with on his mule. The town had promised him a hefty reward for the return of the flag, and he was not one to argue with monetary gain.]
